"E Unibus Pluram" is all about meta-cycles and irony. Want to know what's meta and ironic? Sometimes I take breaks from reading this essay and watch TV instead LOL

so far, i’ve read the 1st, 2nd and 5th essays. i broke up the David lynch essay a bit too much, so will probably reread. So far, his essay on television has been my favorite. a deep dive on irony-poisoning and meta-on-meta.

I am still somewhat intimidated by DFW books and tend to procrastinate starting them, but as soon as I do, I remember that I have never read anyone else who can write like he does.

Sophie JB is starting

Came for the titular essay (which essay was admittedly a banger), stayed for the footnotes, the unnervingly prescient commentary on visual media/tech/irony, and the passages that made me go “huh, this is just like that bit in Infinite Jest when….”.
Also, a good reminder to finally watch Twin Peaks!
